Since we’re rarely home for Christmas, we don’t have a traditional Christmas Eve meal. I wanted to have something special that didn’t require hours in the kitchen. We both love shrimp but almost always grill it. Grilling and Omaha winters don’t mix. I did a quick search and found this recipe. I read it several times and read the reviews. Although it almost seemed too simple and easy, I was sold. Well simple or easy would not be the first word I would use to describe this recipe, delicious would be!
